S 5008 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires retail food establishments to provide disclosures for certain caffeinated beverages.

This bill requires New Jersey retail food establishments (like restaurants and cafes) to clearly display a "High caffeine" warning or approved symbol next to any beverage containing 150 milligrams or more of caffeine per serving on all menus - including digital, printed, and drive-through displays. It applies to all such beverages offered as standard or temporary menu items. Violations result in fines of $200-$500 for the first offense and $500-$1,000 for repeat offenses, enforced by state or local health authorities. The law also prohibits local governments from creating their own caffeine disclosure rules, making this a statewide requirement.
